Foot Stop Failing Me

A tough run last night. I upped my running to 17:30 out of 30 minutes. I do not enjoy running those 2 minute segments but I feel good when I get done. My right foot feel asleep again at about the 24:00 mark. I know it is not the shoes though cause about a minute after I was off the treadmill, while I still had the shoes on, the feeling came back. My feet don't feel constricted at all in the new shoes so I'm sure it is just my body trying to slow me down. I still have to remind myself that I am a very big individual. No matter how much heart and determination I pour into this sport (Wow John Bingham is starting to sink in, I called this a sport) my body needs time to adapt. To paraphrase Mr. Bingham,it didn't take me three days to get out of shape so I shouldn't plan on getting back in shape in three days.

You are doing GREAT! I read somewhere - "anything worth doing is worth doing poorly"....or else, where is the accomplishment? If running was easy to start, there would be nothing to celebrate once you hit your first goal. I have a quote tacked to my computer monitor: MANY THINGS ARE DIFFICULT BEFORE THEY ARE EASY. NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!!"

The Future

About Me

I have always been overweight. Back in 1998-99 I lost 80 lbs on no-carb. I was still overweight. I honestly believe the only reason it worked at all was because I was in college and had multiple dinning halls worth of choices to keep me in salad and meat. Once I graduated that year it took about 2 years for all the weight to come back. I never have stuck to much in the way of exercising. At 28 years old a sedentary lifestyle with a taste for high calorie food has gotten me to 367 lbs. Now it's time to see how far running and a vegetable induced portion controlled way of eating can get me.
